Library appreciates efforts of Cupboard Maker Books

In this struggling economy, with constant slashes in funding to our public libraries system, one small business found a way to give back to our local community.

Even though the owners sought no recognition for their efforts, we believe that they deserve some acknowledgment.

On Aug. 16, Cupboard Maker Books held a "Friends of the Marysville-Rye Library Day."

A large percentage of all their sales on that day were contributed to our library.

Rather than reading about it, and perceiving it to be an issue better left to resolution by state and local government, it decided to offer its time, efforts and store inventory to become a part of the solution.

On behalf of the entire library board and staff, I wish to publicly express our appreciation of their generosity.
